Chapter 31 Plant a gold coin and grow a golden tree
Taking advantage of the absence of Vice Dean Bad, Xiou began to use her professional ability.
"Did you really pick up this string of bells from outside?"
Xiou's indifferent tone carried a majesty that would not tolerate rejection or lying.
She was using her extraordinary ability as an arbitrator.
Amy replied timidly: "Yes, I picked it up at the foot of the mountain a month ago, and many people can prove it for me."
"What do you think of Dean Daen?"
"Very bad, he often doesn't give us food, and always threatens to lock us up in the underground confinement room."
"What about Vice Dean Bad?"
"Dean Bad is a good person, he is very good to us and always takes good care of us."
"Is there anyone in the poorhouse who is weird on weekdays?"
Amy thought for a while and said: "Dean Daen, he likes to dream."
Xiou became interested, "What kind of dreams does Dean Daen like to have?"
Hasta, who finally got to hear the follow-up of this question, also became serious.
"He always dreams of digging a hole in the soil and planting gold coins, and then it will grow into a golden tree full of gold coins."
"..."
Xiu and Hasta were stunned by this answer. They had also dreamed of this dream of getting rich.
"When he wakes up in the morning, he will be angry because the golden tree suddenly disappears. He will curse us loudly as thieves who stole his gold coins." Amy added.
"..."
Xiu's face was strange. She thought she could see something unusual from Dean Daen's dream, but this was just a dream fantasy of an extremely greedy person. There was nothing suspicious about it.
Hasta pondered for a while and said, "Did Dean Daen ever dream of burying a child in the soil?"
Lecturer Folen's face changed slightly, and he looked at Hasta in shock. He remembered that his teacher had said before that the poorhouse had buried children in the soil many times!
Xiu also opened his eyes slightly and listened more seriously.
"I just remember that he once shouted angrily that thieves who stole gold coins should be buried in the ground so that his golden tree could produce more gold coins."
"Did Dean really say that?" Hugh had a bad guess in his heart.
"Well, many people heard it. We also laughed privately that only a greedy person like him could grow a golden tree full of gold coins if he was buried in the ground." Amy's tone was very sure.
Hugh walked to Hastur and asked quietly, "Did Dean really do such a cruel thing?"
"It's just possible."
"It's so hateful! How could he not let go of even the children!"
Hugh clenched his fists in anger, and was even more annoyed that he didn't take good care of Dean Daan at the time, but let him run away instead.
Hasta restrained his anger and asked calmly, "How is the relationship between Dean Dahn and Vice Dean Bad on weekdays?"
Amy lowered her head and thought for a long time before whispering, "Dean Dahn has said many times that he wants to fire Vice Dean Bad. Once when he was very angry, he even said that he would lock Vice Dean Bad in the confinement room forever and make him a prisoner for life."
"What was Dean Dahn angry about that time?"
"I don't know. I just remember that Dean Dahn had a bad temper that day and many people were punished by him."
When Hasta was about to continue asking, Vice Dean Bad and the police officer came over with a boy who was obviously half a head taller than Amy.
After some questioning, the boy named Simon did steal Amy's bell last night and sneaked out, but he didn't have the courage to scare Aunt Lisa in the end. Instead, he spent the night hiding in the bathroom like Amy tonight.
"That's good."
Xiu was obviously relieved, and returned the bells to Amy, warning him not to run around at night, and not to shake the bells at will, so as not to disturb others.
The two police officers also gave Amy and Simon a verbal lesson, and then asked Vice Dean Bad to take them back to rest.
There seemed to be a misunderstanding tonight, and the two police officers did not stay for long. After Vice Dean Bad sent people back to the dormitory, they left here together.
The iron door was locked again, and everything returned to peace.
The two police officers and Vice Dean Bad went back to rest, and Hasta and the other two went back to his room for a small gathering.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Xiu frowned, waving the triangular spike in his hand and knocking on the table.
"That was told to my teacher by a man named Old Jeff..." Lecturer Foren steadily exerted his ability to tell stories.
Xiu was very angry after hearing this, and said very confidently: "Do you still need to doubt it? Old Jeff must have discovered Dean Daen's crime and was murdered by him!"
Hasta tacitly agreed with Xiu's inference.
It is basically confirmed that old Jeff was murdered, but even if the murderer was Dean Dahn, he would at least need a helper, right?
With Dean Dahn's greedy character, he would definitely not deal with old Jeff himself. There must be subordinates working for him in the workhouse.
Although today's search confirmed Dean Dahn's various crimes, it did not find the accomplices who helped Dean Dahn commit the crime.
This is a hidden danger after all.
Hasta thought about it and told Hugh his thoughts.
Hugh promised: "I am also very professional in interrogation."
"Everything is bounded by the law, don't resort to violence casually." Hasta felt that he needed to remind Hugh.
"I, where am I violent? I just use more direct means sometimes..." Xio's cheeks flushed slightly, and she was obviously not confident enough.
"For the sake of our acquaintance, if you go to the police station for this kind of thing next time, you can ask me for help."
Xio was very dissatisfied with Hasta's words, and said bluntly: "Looking for you? With you, a poor baron?"
"I am also a lawyer, um, I am now the legal advisor of Bavart Bank."
"..."
Xiu was silent, and then whispered: "Is Bavart Bank very rich?"
"Not very rich, but very rich."
"Alas, it's a pity that I don't have the ability to rob a bank, I can only earn some hard-earned money by selling hard labor."
Xiu sighed, suddenly felt bored, waved his hand, and had no interest in continuing the conversation. Lecturer Foren also left with her.
"Sometimes I want to rob a bank."
Hasta also sighed, but he was just thinking about it, just like Dean Daen dreamed of planting gold coins and growing golden trees in his sleep.
After locking the door, Hasta went back to bed and lay down, thinking about tomorrow's affairs.
Whether there is news from Professor Wayne tomorrow or not, he has to go back home first. He has not taken a bath or changed clothes for two days, which makes it difficult for him to fall asleep.
Regarding the doubts that still exist in the workhouse, let's wait and see when we find Dean Dahn.
Maybe I just think too much, and Dean Dahn is the culprit of everything.
As for the different sounds of the bells on the two nights, it may be because different people have different powers, and the sounds made by shaking the bells are also different.
Hasta thought a lot, and soon fell asleep, and chose to come to the Hall of Stars.
Now he has gradually become familiar with and mastered the Hall of Stars, and can decide whether to enter the Hall of Stars after falling asleep.
Recently, there are a lot of troubles. Hasta closed his eyes and sat quietly in the chair for a long time before looking at the star belonging to the lamp god.
His eyes zoomed in, and the starlight dissipated.
The shadow of the magic lamp still flickered with a dim light, very quiet and peaceful.
Hasta stared at it for a long time before driving the chain of order to whip it as usual.
After diverting his worries, he felt much more relaxed.
…
Early the next morning, Lecturer Foren came and knocked on the door again.
Hasta, who had finally taken a nap, was woken up. He got up and tidied his clothes before slowly opening the door.
If Lecturer Foren disturbed his sleep for some trivial matters, he would not mind letting Lecturer Foren feel what cruelty was.
Fortunately, the news brought by Lecturer Foren was shocking and a great joy.
Professor Wayne was found!
It is said that at two or three o'clock last night, Professor Wayne returned to his house and was soon discovered by the police officers who were closely watching the area.
Then the news came to the dock area early in the morning, and Lecturer Foren was the first to inform him after receiving the news.
Hasta said with a bad face: "Did Professor Wayne walk back by himself?"
"That's what they said."
"Haha, how lucky."
Hasta's face became more and more unfriendly. He was just suspicious before, but now he can be sure that this disappearance was directed and acted by Professor Wayne himself!
He didn't care that Professor Wayne replaced his role. What made him angry was that Professor Wayne didn't tell him in advance, causing him to worry about it!
Lecturer Foren coughed lightly and said, "Well, I don't think the teacher did it on purpose. Maybe he was just in a hurry to leave and didn't have time to say goodbye to us."
"Lecturer Foren, while you were eating white bread and anxiously unable to fall asleep, Professor Wayne must have been alone, drinking a little wine silently, and spending a very sad night with roasted sausages."
"..."
Based on Hasta's description alone, Lecturer Foren felt his anger rising instantly.
I was so angry all of a sudden!
